Progress of the event.

Leading.

Why is there solemnity around?
Do you hear how quickly the speech fell silent?
A guest appeared - the queen of all sciences,
And let us not forget the joy of these meetings.

There is a rumor about mathematics
That she puts her mind in order,
Because good words
People often talk about her.

Mathematics, you give us
To overcome difficulties, harden yourself.
Young people study with you
Develop both will and ingenuity,

And for the fact that in creative work
You help out in difficult moments,
We are sincere to you today
We send thunderous applause.

(Applause.)

Leading.

Math fight I open it
I wish you all success,
Think, think, don’t yawn,
Quickly calculate everything in your head!

– Now let’s get acquainted with the teams.

(Captains present the name, motto, exchange comic gifts.)

Leading.

One, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 –
You can count everything
Count, measure, weigh.

How many grains are in a tomato?
How many boats are there on the sea,
How many doors are there in the room?
There are lanterns in the alley,

How many stones are there on the mountain?
How much coal is there in the yard?
How many corners are there in the room?
How many legs do sparrows have?

How many fingers are there on your hands?
How many toes are there?
How many benches are there in the kindergarten?
How many kopecks are in a penny?

– I announce the beginning of the first round, which is called “Arithmetic mixture”.

Round I “Arithmetic mixture”

I. Two people per team complete the tasks on the cards:

1) Calculate:

II. For other participants, the following tasks are offered:

There are 8 people traveling on a stagecoach; at the first stop, five got off and three got on. We drove on, and at the next stops two people got off, then five, and finally three more. Then the stagecoach arrived at the final stop, where everyone got off. How many stops were there?

Answer: 5.

2) Along the road along the bushes
There were 11 tails.
I was also able to count
That walked 30 legs.

We were going somewhere together
Roosters and piglets.
And my question for you is this:
How many roosters were there?

Answer: 7.

III. One person from the team, each needs to count in order to thirty, only instead of numbers that are divisible by three and ending in three, say: “I won’t get lost.”

IV. The chessboard was invented in India. According to legend, the Indian Prince Sirom really liked this game, and he wanted to generously reward its inventor.

“Ask whatever you want, I am rich enough to fulfill your deepest desire,” the prince said to the inventor of chess, a scientist named Seta.

The inventor said that as a reward he would be given as many grains of rice as the total would be if one grain of rice was placed on the first square of the chessboard, two grains on the second, four on the third, etc., doubling the number of grains each time . The prince laughed at such a cheap reward, in his opinion, and ordered the scientist to immediately give the scientist rice for all 64 squares of the chessboard.

But a reward of this size was not given to the inventor, since the prince did not have the amount of grain that the joker-scientist asked for.

The calculation shows that the inventor had to issue:

2 +2 2 + 2 3 + 2 4 + … + 2 64 = 18446744073709551615 grains.

(Open three digits from the end and the teams take turns reading the resulting numbers.)

Answer: 18 quintillion 446 quadrillion 744 trillion 73 billion 709 million 551 thousand 615.

Leading. Mathematicians have calculated that all this grain will have a mass of about 700 billion tons. If it were scattered on the earth's land, a layer of rice about 1 cm thick would form.

The jury sums up the results of the first round.

Music sounds (Symphony No. 40 by Mozart).

Leading. Wonderful music sounded. Music by a great composer who was passionate about mathematics. He covered the floor and walls, performing complex mathematical calculations. He had brilliant mathematical knowledge ( Appendix 2, Slide 1). It is with this music that we open the next round.

Round II “Historical”

I.

Assignment: write down the names of famous mathematicians and physicists.

II. The rest are asked questions on a historical topic:

1) An amazing fact happened in 1735. The St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences received a proposal from the Government to carry out an urgent but extremely difficult calculation. The academicians took several months to complete this task. However, one of the mathematicians of this Academy ( Appendix 2, Slide 2) undertook to carry out these calculations in three days, and indeed, to the great amazement of this Academy, he did it. But this work cost him dearly.

Name this mathematician and explain what it means: “this work cost him a lot.”

Answer: Euler. After the calculations, his right eye leaked out, and by the end of his life he became blind.

2) The first manual on mathematics in Russia was the encyclopedia of mathematical knowledge. On title page This wonderful textbook has portraits of Pythagoras and Archimedes, and on the back there is a bouquet of flowers, under which are the verses:

“Take, young one, flowers of wisdom,
It's nice to learn arithmetic,
There are different rules and things to follow…”

Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov called this book “The Gates of His Learning.” Who is the author of this first in mathematics? What was it called?

Answer:“Arithmetic - that is, the science of numbers”, author - Magnitsky. Real name: Velyatin, a native of Tver province ( Appendix 2, Slide 3).

3) Which of the ancient Greek mathematicians took an active part in the Olympic Games and was the winner in the pentathlon?

Leading. You probably already guess that the next round is “Algebraic”.

III round “Algebraic”.

I. Two people per team:

1 task: Mark the points on the coordinate plane and connect them sequentially:

(-2;3), (-3;4), (-1;6), (5;7), (3;5), (1;5), (1;3), (6;2) , (8;-4), (8;-6), (-3;-6), (-1;-4), (0;-4), (-1;-1), (-1; -3), (-2;0), (-1;1), (-1;2), (-2;3) and (-1.5; 5).

Task 2: Compare:

7th grade 2 2 and ((2 2) 2) 2

8th grade (cos 60º) 2 and (cos 60º) 3

II. Leading: algebra can be applied to non-mathematical fields. For example, you can graphically depict proverbs and sayings.

Let's take the proverb: “As it comes around, so it will respond.” Two axes: the “hook axis” – horizontally, and vertically – the “response axis”. The response is equal to a whoop. The graph will be the bisector of the coordinate angle.

response axis graph proverbs

aucanya axis

You are invited to depict proverbs:

7th grade - “It shines, but does not warm.”

8th grade - “No stake, no yard.”

Answer: 7th grade – one of the semi-axes,

8th grade – point of intersection of coordinate axes.

III. One person per team.

Task: calculate on a calculator

((14628.25 + 4: 0.128) : 1.011 0.00008 + 6.84) : 12.5

Answer: 0,64.

The jury sums up the results of the third round.

Logical pause (miniature) (Appendix 1).

Leading. So, I announce the IV round of “Fun Challenges”.

IV round “Fun tasks”.

I.

Exercise: Draw a person using numbers and mathematical symbols.

II. Two people per team:

Exercise: Solve the problem in different ways.

Three ducklings and four goslings weigh 2 kg 500 g, and four ducklings and three goslings weigh 2 kg 400 g. How much does one gosling weigh?

III. The rest are offered tasks:

1) The guys are sawing logs into meter-long pieces. Sawing off one such piece takes one minute. How many minutes will it take them to cut a log 5 meters long?

Answer: 4 minutes.

2) A carriage drawn by three horses traveled 15 km in one hour. How fast was each horse going?

Answer: 15 km/h.

3) How much is 40 and 5 three times?

Answer: 4040405.

4) Two men have 35 sheep. One has 9 more sheep than the other. How many sheep does each person have?

Answer: 13 and 22.

5) A train left Moscow for St. Petersburg at a speed of 60 km/h, and a second train left from St. Petersburg for Moscow at a speed of 70 km/h. Which train will be further from Moscow at the time of the meeting?

Answer: the same.

6) What is the product of all digits?

Answer: 0.

7) Multiply two dozen by three dozen. How many dozens will there be?

Answer: 72.

8) Alyosha and Borya together weigh 82 kg, Alyosha and Vova weigh 83 kg, Borya and Vova weigh 85 kg. How much do Alyosha, Borya and Vova weigh together?

Answer: 125 kg.

9) A freshly split watermelon contained 99% water. After it dried out, the water content became 98%. How long does it take for a watermelon to dry out?

Answer: initially - 1% dry matter by weight, and after drying - 2%. This means that the proportion of dry matter in the watermelon has doubled, and the mass of the watermelon itself has halved.

10) Using a computer, it has been calculated that on average a child uses almost 3600 words, a teenager at 14 years old already uses 9000 words, an adult uses over 11000, A.S. Pushkin used 21,200 different words in his works. How many times is a teenager’s vocabulary larger than that of Ellochka the cannibal from the famous satirical novel “The Twelve Chairs” by Ilf and Petrov?

Answer: 450 times.

The jury sums up the results of the fourth round.

Math fight

Math fightis a competition between two teams in solving mathematical problems.

Matboy is a developing form of extracurricular work in mathematics. She has actively entered into the practice of the school in the last 10-15 years.

Matboys can be organized as tournaments intraclass , school-wide, or as city or district ones, when national teams of schools or districts compete.

Matboys are always held in the form of competitions, the results of which are assessed by a jury. Mathboys are a very exciting and emotional form of mathematical competition; teams should always feel the support of their fans. Tasks in matboys can be designed to be completed within a certain period of time; sometimes the team is given a week to complete the task. However, matboys with express tasks are especially interesting, which are completed in a matter of minutes and are immediately assessed by the jury.

The experience of mathboys will help participants in the future: the ability to make a scientific report, listen and understand the work of another, ask clear, substantive questions - all this will be useful at seminars and conferences, for reviewing books and articles, and for joint scientific work. And one more thing: students from different schools get to know each other at matboys and create a new circle of friends. And the last thing: after a successful matfight, the taste for good work awakens, you want to perform again, but properly, taking into account all the mistakes. Therefore, losing to teams is sometimes more useful than winning.

Matboys originated in Leningrad and were invented by Joseph Yakovlevich Verebeychik around 1965. The first matboys were held within the walls of school No. 30, where Joseph Yakovlevich worked as a mathematics teacher and led clubs. Many years later, matboys began to be held in different cities, but some discrepancies in the rules arose. With great difficulty, thanks to summer mathematical schools in Kirov, where Moscow, Leningrad and Kirov teachers met, these differences were overcome in long disputes.

Signs:

Availability of rules of communication in competition conditions;

Having a common team goal;

Limited time and its distribution across the stages of the competition;

Objectivity in assessing results;

Clear organization system;

Entertaining formulation of assignments and tasks.

Characteristic:

Target:

  • Development of cognitive interest in the subject.
  • Generalization and systematization of knowledge: Mathboy uses tasks mainly involving logic and ingenuity. As well as tasks on the topics: drawing up equations and solving them; Polynomials and arithmetic operations on them; Solving systems of equations with two unknowns.
  • Developing the ability of group members to interact with each other.
  • Score the most points.

Preparation for the lesson:

Problems for mathematical combat are written down on album sheets in four copies: for the teams, the jury and the teacher. Fight protocol for the jury. Black box “with a surprise” (see captain competition)

Rules:

Two teams (7 people each) participate in a mathematical battle. Each team has a captain, who is determined by the team before the start of the battle. The battle consists of two stages.

The first stage is solving problems, the second is the battle itself. During the first stage, problem solving can occur jointly with the whole team. Remember that none of the participants in the battle can go to the board more than twice. Therefore, a participant who has solved many problems that others have not solved must, during the first stage, tell his teammates the solutions he received.

The second stage begins with a captain's competition. (By decision of the team, any member of the team can participate in the competition instead of the captain). The winning team decides which team makes the first call. This, as well as all other decisions of the team, is announced by the captain.

The call is made in the following way. The captain announces:. The other team may or may not accept the challenge. The team that accepted the challenge nominates a speaker, the other team nominates an opponent. After a meeting with the teams, the captains name the opponent and the speaker. The speaker’s task is to provide a clear and understandable solution to the problem. The opponent’s task is to find errors in the report. During the report, the opponent has no right to object to the speaker, but may ask him to repeat an unclear point. the main task opponent - notice all the dubious places and do not forget about them until the end of the report. At the end of the report, a discussion takes place between the speaker and the opponent, during which the opponent asks questions about all the unclear parts of the report. The discussion ends with the opponent’s conclusion: “I agree with the decision (“disagree”", explanation).

After this, the jury (teacher) awards points. Each task is worth 12 points. For errors and inaccuracies, points will be deducted. The number of points deducted is determined by the proximity of the story to the right decision. If errors were found by the opponent, then the opposing team receives up to half of the points deducted. Otherwise, all selected points go to the jury.

The team receiving the call may refuse to report. In this case, the calling team must prove that it has a solution to the problem. To do this, she nominates a speaker, and the second team – an opponent.

During the bout, each team is entitled to six 30-second breaks. Breaks are made in cases where there is a need to help a student standing at the blackboard or replace him. The decision to take a break is made by the captain.

If the captain is at the board, he leaves a deputy, who at that time acts as captain. The names of the captain and deputy are communicated to the jury before the start of solving problems. When solving problems, the captain's main responsibility is to coordinate the actions of team members so that with the available forces they can solve as many problems as possible. The captain finds out in advance who will be the speaker or opponent for a particular task and determines all the team’s tactics for the upcoming battle.

A team that has received the right to a challenge may refuse it. In this case, until the end of the battle, only their opponents have the right to report, and the team that refused can only oppose. Opposition is carried out according to the usual rules.

The jury is the supreme interpreter of the rules of combat. In cases not provided for by the rules, it makes a decision at its own discretion. The decisions of the jury are binding on the teams.

At the end of the battle, the jury counts the points and determines the winning team. If the gap in the number of points does not exceed 3 points, then the battle is recorded as a draw.

A team may be penalized up to 6 points for noise, rudeness towards an opponent, etc.

Task list

  1. A chocolate costs 10 rubles and another half chocolate. How much does a chocolate bar cost?
  2. The man says: "I lived 44 years, 44 months, 44 weeks and 44 days" How old is he?
  3. The car meter showed 12921 km. After 2 hours, a number again appeared on the counter that read the same in both directions. At what speed was the car traveling?
  4. Letter notation was first introduced by the French mathematician François Viète (1540-1603). Before this, they used cumbersome verbal formulations. Try to write down the following example in modern symbolism: “The square and the number 21 are equal to 10 roots. Find roots».
  5. How old is grandma?

Vasya came to his friend Kolya.

Why weren't you with us yesterday? – asked Kolya. – After all, yesterday my grandmother celebrated her birthday.

“I didn’t know,” said Vasya. - How old is your grandmother?

Kolya answered intricately: “My grandmother says that there has never been a time in her life when her birthday was missed. Yesterday she celebrated this day for the fifteenth time. So figure out how old my grandmother is.”

  1. Let’s say I took 100 rubles from my mother. I went to the store and lost them. Met a friend. I took 50 rubles from her. I bought 2 chocolates for 10 each. I have 30 rubles left. I gave them to my mother. And I still owe 70. And my friend owes 50. Total is 120. Plus I have 2 chocolates. Total 140! Where are 10 rubles?
  2. Three friends: Ivan, Peter and Alexey came to the market with their wives: Maria, Ekaterina and Anna. We don't know who is married to whom. You need to find out this based on the following data: each of these six people paid for each item purchased as many rubles as the number of items he bought. Each man spent 48 rubles. more than his wife. In addition, Ivan bought 9 items more than Catherine, and Peter bought 7 items more than Mary.
  3. Fill in the cells so that the sum of any three adjacent cells equals 20:
  1. A tourist goes on a hike from A to B and back, and completes the entire journey in 3 hours 41 minutes. The road from A to B goes first uphill, then on level ground and then downhill. How far does the road go on level ground if the tourist’s speed is 4 km/h when going uphill, 5 km/h on level ground, and 6 km/h when going down the mountain, and the distance AB is 9 km?
  2. The number ends with the number 9. If you discard that number and add the first number to the resulting number, you get 306,216. Find this number.

Answers:

Captains competition: Compass

Additional competition for captains:radian, radius, rational, rhombus, equivalent.

Problem solutions:

  1. Answer: 20 rub. . X/2+10=X, where X is the price of a chocolate bar.
  2. Answer: 48 years old 44 months = 3 years and 8 months.

44 weeks = 9 months

44 days = 1.5 months.

44 years + 3 years and 8 months. + 9 months + 1.5 months = 48 years and 6.5 months.

  1. Answer: 55 km/h (105 km/h).

13031-12921=110 (km)

110:2 = 55 (km/h)

or

13131-12921=210 (km)

210:2=105 (km)

  1. Grandmother is 60 years old , she was born on February 29th. Thus, she celebrated her birthday once every 4 years.
  2. You need to add not chocolates, but 30 rubles that you gave away. Chocolates no longer count, because... 30 rub. have already paid, the remaining 20 went towards the debt.

Borrowed: 100+50=150 rubles.

Should: 150-30=120 rub.

Spending 100+20=120

After all the losses and expenses, 150-120 = 30 remained - I gave them to my mother, and I still owe her 70 rubles. and 50 for a friend, a total of 120 rubles. (compare with the 2nd line).

If his wife bought at items, then she paidrub. So we have, or (x-y)(x+y)=48. Numbers x,y– positive. This is possible when x-y and x+y are even, and x+y>x-y.

Expanding 48 into factors, we get: 48=2*24=4*12=6*8 or

Solving these equations, we get:

Looking for those meanings x and y , the difference of which is 9, we find that Ivan bought 13 items, Catherine – 4. In the same way, Peter bought 8 items, Maria – 1.

Thus, we get pairs:

  1. The numbers between which there are two cells must match.

The only difference is the third number: 4

Answer:

  1. Let x be the length of the path on level ground SD, then AC+DV=9-x.

The tourist passes sections AC and DV twice, once uphill at a speed of 4 km/h, the other

once downhill at a speed of 6 km/h.

On this path he will spend

The path on level ground will takeBecause the entire journey there and back will take the tourist 3 hours. 41 min., then

|*60

15(9-x)+10(9-x)+12*2x=221

135-15x+90-10x+24x=221

X=-4

Answer: x = 4 km.

Rules of mathematical combat

1. Order of battle. Math fight is a competition between two teams in solving mathematical problems. It consists of two parts. First, teams receive task conditions and a certain time to solve them. When solving problems, the team can use any printed literature, non-programmable calculators, but has no right to communicate with anyone except the jury. Also, teams do not have the right to use the Internet, any electronic media or mobile phones. After this time, the actual battle begins, when the teams tell each other the solutions to the problems.

2. Start of the battle. The fight starts with captains competition. The captain who was the first to solve the proposed task raises his hand and presents the answer. If his answer is correct, he wins; if it is incorrect, his opponent wins, but he is not required to submit his answer. The winning team in the captain's competition decides whether it wants to challenge the opposing team to a report in the first round or be called.

3. Order of battle. The fight consists of several rounds. At the beginning of each round, one of the teams challenges the other team to one of the problems whose solutions have not yet been revealed. The calling command may also refuse further calls (§ 11). The called command can accept the challenge (§ 4) or perform a validation check (§ 9).
The team that made the challenge in the current round becomes challenged in the next round, except in the case of an incorrect challenge (§ 10), when it is forced to repeat the challenge in the next round.

4. Accepted call. If the challenge is accepted, the called team sets up a speaker, the calling team sets up an opponent. A team wishing to preserve access to the board (§ 13) may refuse to field an opponent. Then she does not participate in this round. The speaker, with the permission of the jury, can take with him a paper with drawings and calculations. But he has no right to take the text of the decision with him. The speaker tells the solution to the problem; the opponent, by agreement with the speaker, asks him questions either during the presentation or after the report. All calculations are usually carried out by the presenter on the board and without the use of a calculator. No more than 15 minutes are allotted for the report, and no more than 15 minutes for the subsequent discussion between the opponent and the speaker.

5. Rights of the speaker and opponent.
During the report, the opponent can: ask questions to the speaker with his consent; ask the speaker to repeat any part of the report; allow the speaker not to prove any facts that are obvious from the opponent’s point of view.
During the discussion, the speaker can: ask the opponent to clarify the question; refuse to answer your opponent’s question, citing the fact that (a) he does not have an answer, (b) he has already answered this question, (c) the question, in his opinion, is not relevant to the task.
During the discussion, the opponent can: ask the speaker to repeat any part of the report; ask the speaker to clarify any of his statements; ask the speaker to prove the formulated non-obvious and not generally known statement (facts included in the school mathematics course are usually considered generally known).
The speaker is not obliged to: state the method of obtaining the answer if he can prove the correctness and completeness of the answer in another way; compare your solution method with other possible methods.

6.Opponent's conclusion. When the questions are asked and answered, the opponent makes a conclusion in one of three forms: (a) “I completely agree with the decision”; (b) “The solution is basically correct, but it has the following shortcomings...”; (c) “The solution is incorrect, the fundamental error is as follows...” The opponent should remember that the jury ultimately evaluates not his questions, but his conclusion, which must be motivated!
A conclusion on an incorrect decision can be made in the form: “The decision is incorrect, I have a counterexample.” In this case, the jury asks the opponent to present a counterexample in writing, without revealing it to the speaker. If the jury accepts the counterexample, the speaker is given a minute to attempt to correct the decision. Similar actions are carried out upon the opponent’s statement “The solution is incomplete, not all cases have been considered.”
If the opponent agrees with the decision, he and his team no longer participate in this round; Then the jury asks questions to the speaker. Until the speaker's decision has been refuted, the opponent has no right to tell his solution, even if it is much simpler.

7. Accrual of points. In each round, 12 points are awarded, which are distributed between the presenter, opponent and jury. The speaker receives 12 points for an error-free solution. Otherwise, the jury deducts points from the speaker for holes contained in the solution. Each hole is worth an even number of points. If the speaker fills a hole after an opponent’s question asked before the end of the report, points are not deducted from the speaker. If the speaker repairs a hole after an opponent's question asked at the end of the report, the cost of the hole is divided equally between the opponent and the speaker. If the presenter fails to repair the hole, the opponent immediately receives half of its value. If the opponent did not notice the hole, and the jury pointed it out with their questions after making a conclusion, the jury receives half of the cost of the hole, and the other half goes to the speaker or the jury, depending on whether the speaker was able to repair the hole or not.

8. Role reversal. Having made a preliminary assessment of points, the jury asks the opponent if he would like to present a complete solution to the problem in the case where the opponent has proven that the speaker does not have one, or to fill in the remaining holes. If the opponent agrees to a partial or complete change of roles, he temporarily becomes the speaker and tries to earn the second half of the value of the holes he discovered. The former speaker, when opposing, can himself score half the points that the former opponent is trying to earn as a speaker. Secondary role changes cannot be made.

9. Validation check is that the called command refuses to tell the solution to the problem, but instead checks whether the calling command has solved it. In this case, the calling team sets up a speaker, and the called team sets up an opponent. If the calling team immediately admits that it does not have a solution, then the calling team receives 6 points. In this case, the speaker and opponent are not assigned and exits to the board are not counted. When checking for correctness, roles cannot be changed. If, during the correctness check, the opponent proves that the speaker does not have a solution, then he receives at least 4 points.

10. The order of the next call when checking for correctness And. If the call is considered correct (the calling team presented a solution, or the opponent could not prove that the presenter does not have a solution), then the called team makes the next call. If the call is recognized as incorrect (the calling team immediately admitted that it does not have a solution, or the opponent was able to prove that the presenter does not have a solution), then the next call is made again by the calling team.

11. Call Rejection. Starting from a certain round, one of the teams may refuse further challenges. In this case, opponents can nominate speakers for any previously unconsidered tasks, and the team that refuses the challenge nominates opponents. Once calls are rejected, roles can no longer be changed.

12. Time-out. Communication between the speaker and the team is allowed only during the 30-second break taken by the team. At this time, opponents can also deliberate, using up all 30 seconds of the break. A team may take no more than six 30-second breaks per bout. If the opponent begins to make a conclusion, his team can recall the opponent’s words within 10 seconds and take a time-out. If after the opponent’s conclusion there is no recall within 10 seconds, then the opponent’s conclusion is considered made and cannot be changed.

13. Number of exits to the board. Each player is allowed to come to the board (whether as an opponent or as a speaker) no more than twice per battle, regardless of the number of team members participating in this battle. If desired, a team may not field an opponent for the round, thereby saving the number of exits.

14. Replacement order. A team can change its speaker at any time, which is equivalent to using two breaks. When replacing, the exit is credited to both participants.

15. 10 minute breaks. Team captains have the right to ask the jury for a 10-minute break during the fight (approximately every two hours). A break may only be granted between rounds. In this case, the calling team, before the start of the break, makes a challenge in writing and submits it to the jury, who announces the call after the end of the break.

16. End of the fight. The battle ends when all problems have been considered or when one of the teams refused the challenge and the other team refused to tell the solutions to the remaining problems.

17. Determination of the winner. The team with the most points is considered the winner of the battle. If the difference is no more than 3 points, the battle is considered to end in a draw (except for specially specified cases).

18. General rules behavior I. During the battle, the team communicates with the jury only through the captain; if the captain is at the board - through his deputy. The speaker and opponent address each other only in a respectful manner, using the “you” form. If these rules are violated, the team is first warned and then penalized.

19.Jury. The jury is the supreme interpreter of the rules of combat. The decisions of the jury are binding on the teams. The jury may withdraw the opponent's question, stop the report or opposition if they are delayed. The jury keeps a record of the fight on the board. If one of the teams does not agree with the decision made by the jury on the task, it has the right to immediately demand an analysis of the situation with the participation of the league leader. Once the next round starts, the score of the previous round cannot be changed.

Goals: develop interest in mathematics, logic and ingenuity, the ability to prove and explain; communicative competence.

Preparation for the lesson:
tasks for mathematical combat are written down on album sheets in triplicate: for the teams and the teacher.

Progress of the lesson:

  • Two teams participate in a mathematical battle. Each team has a captain, who is determined by the team before the start of the battle. The battle consists of two stages. The first stage is solving problems, the second is the battle itself. During the first stage, problem solving can occur jointly with the whole team. Remember that none of the participants in the battle can go to the board more than twice. Therefore, a participant who has solved many problems that others have not solved must, during the first stage, tell his teammates the solutions he received.
  • The second stage begins with a captain's competition. By decision of the team, any member of the team can participate in the competition instead of the captain. The winning team decides which team makes the first call. This, as well as all other decisions of the team, is announced by the captain.

Captains competition:
A super-blitz is held on three questions, the captain who scores two or three points wins. The captain can earn a point by answering the question correctly. The first person to answer is the one who raises the signal card (prepared in advance) or hand faster.

  • A chocolate costs 10 rubles and another half a chocolate bar. How much does a chocolate bar cost?
  • Hares are sawing a log. They made 10 cuts, how many logs did they get?
  • How much earth is in a hole 2 m deep, 2 m wide, 2 m long?

Answers: 20 rubles; 11 logs; not at all.

    • The call is made as follows. The captain announces: “We challenge our opponents to task number...”. The other team may or may not accept the challenge. The team that accepted the challenge puts up speaker, the other team - opponent. After a meeting with the teams, the captains name the opponent and the speaker. The speaker’s task is to give a clear and understandable solution to the problem. The opponent’s task is to find errors in the report. During the report, the opponent has no right to object to the speaker, but may ask him to repeat an unclear point. The main task of the opponent is to notice all the dubious places and not forget about them until the end of the report. At the end of the report, a discussion takes place between the speaker and the opponent , during which the opponent asks questions about all the unclear parts of the report. The discussion ends with the opponent’s conclusion: “I agree with the decision” or “I believe that there is no solution, since such and such was not explained.”
    • After this, the jury (teacher) awards points according to the following rules. Each task is worth a different number of points, as they have different levels of difficulty. First and second problems – 6 points. Third, fourth, fifth and sixth – 8 points. Seventh and eighth – 10 points. Ninth and tenth – 12 points. In case of an absolutely correct decision, the speaker's team receives all these points. For errors and inaccuracies, points will be deducted. The number of points deducted is determined by the proximity of the story told to the correct solution. If errors were found by the opponent, then the opposing team receives up to half of the points deducted. Otherwise, all selected points go to the jury. If the jury decides that the report does not contain a solution to the problem, then the opposing team has the right to tell the correct solution. At the same time, to the points scored for opposing, she can add points for telling the solution to the problem. The team that makes an incorrect report nominates an opponent and can earn points by opposing.
    • The team receiving the call may refuse to report. In this case, the calling team must prove that it has a solution to the problem. To do this, she nominates a speaker, and the second team – an opponent. If there is no solution and this is proven by the opposing team, then they receive half the points for this problem, and the challenging team must repeat the challenge. This procedure is called checking the correctness of the call. In all other cases, calls alternate.
    • During the bout, each team is entitled to six 30-second breaks. Breaks are made in cases where there is a need to help a student standing at the blackboard or replace him. The decision to take a break is made by the captain.
    • A team that has received the right to a challenge may refuse it. In this case, until the end of the battle, only their opponents have the right to report, and the team that refused can only oppose. Opposition is carried out according to the usual rules.
    • At the end of the battle, the jury counts the points and determines the winning team. If the gap in the number of points does not exceed 3 points, then the battle is recorded as a draw.
    • A team may be fined up to 6 points for noise, rudeness towards an opponent, failure to comply with the requirements of the jury, etc.

4th round (captains competition)

Three certain wise men entered into an argument: which of the three is wiser? The dispute was resolved by a random passer-by who offered them a test of intelligence.

“You see,” he said, “I have five caps: three black and two white. Close your eyes."

With these words, he put a black cap on each of them, and hid two white ones in bags.

“You can open your eyes,” said the passer-by. “Whoever guesses what color decorates his head has the right to consider himself the wisest.”

The wise men sat for a long time, looking at each other... Finally, one exclaimed.

“I’m wearing black!”

How did he guess?

tasks for conducting a “mathematical battle”

among 6-7 grades.

Rules of the game:

Mathematical battle - a competition between two teams in solving problems. Teams receive task conditions and a certain time to solve them. While teams are solving problems, any significant clarification of problems given by one of the teams must be communicated to all teams as soon as possible. After the allotted time has passed, the battle itself begins, when the teams explain to each other the solutions to the problems in accordance with the rules.

If one of the teams tells the solution, then the other acts as an opponent, i.e. looks for errors (shortcomings) in it. The speeches of the opponent and the speaker are assessed in points. If the teams, after discussing the proposed solution, did not solve the problem to the end or did not find an error, then the jury can take part of the points. The winner of the battle is the team that ultimately scores the most points.

Purpose of the game:

Developing interest in solving complex mathematical problems, the ability to work in a team, preparing for participation in city Olympiads.

Analysis of the game:

The “mathematical battle” was held as part of Mathematics Week among 6G (mathematics) and 7A (gymnasium). The game took place in a friendly atmosphere. Ingenuity tasks were specially selected that the children could solve, regardless of the material being studied. The meeting ended with a victory for grade 7, with a slight margin of 2 points. But this did not upset the 6th grade. on the contrary, they sensed their capabilities and demand revenge. The goal that I set for myself: to arouse interest in solving problems and to feel self-confidence was achieved.
